i think as disney has tried to import california values into florida, florida voters have said, look, treat them just like you treat everybody else, no better, no worse. >> when you say the california values, are you speaking about the discussions of them weighing into what critics call the don't say gay bill, or is it the idea they're no longer giving political donations in florida? because obviously perhaps the former might not ruffle the feathers but the latter sounds like, well, are you establishing you've got to pay in florida to have the privileges, as long as you donate to politicians? >> sure. let me clear that up. governor desantis has raised over $100 million. i think $100,000 of that came from disney. so, anyone who believes that would affect someone's behavior is silly. this is about disney not recognizing they are a guest in our state. they are a california company that is a guest in the state of florida. and they are a guest that has had special privilege no other company has had. when you come in and misrepresent a bill that overwhelming majorities of republicans, democ
